Document Management

Accessing Documents

After generating documents, you can access them through HubSpot contact records or the Files manager.

From HubSpot Records

  1. Open the HubSpot record (contact, company, deal, or ticket) for which the document was generated.
  2. In the property search bar, find the file property you selected during template setup.
  3. Click the link to preview/download the generated document.
  4. If the template is set to append files, the property may contain multiple URLs separated by semicolons; the last one is the newest.
